Even though the Royal Mint said this coin would be released in
September 2017, reports of circulated coins surfaced on the 22nd June 2017
and many popped up in the South West region, the Mint still denied they
where released maybe by mistake? they confirmed two days later that it is
indeed out in the wild!
Sir Isaac Newton is widely recognised as one of the most influential
scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. He
changed our understanding of mathematics and physics, redefined the way we
see the world and shaped the security of our currency in his role as
Master of the Mint. Designed by Aaron West, this 50p coin has been issued
to commemorate the achievements of Sir Isaac Newton and remembers the
legacy he left.
